I'm new to here (hi) and real BBQ, and searching this forum has been a great resource in my prep & gearing-up phase. But I can't seem to find any info here or elsewhere (besides the product website) on Air Thermapens.
http://www.thermoworks.com/products/thermapen/thermapen_air.html
I've read enough to know the regular probe versions are quite popular here, but my idea was to use this to check the temperature more accurately in the dome of what will soon be my new 22.5 WSM, and even better to check the temperature at roughly grate-level through a cajun-bandit 1/4" grate-hole grommet. (If possible, I'd prefer to not mess around with drilling holes and whatnot to get something big enough for a Maverick.)
Anyone have any experience with these? Or maybe some knowledge on how this sort of thermometer might work for my intended application? Would smokey, moist air be likely to damage this sort of probe in any way? Would being restricted to the color white likely hinder its accuracy and speed in any way?, etc. ; )
